Below is an article that was written on Famitsu.com regarding the Ice Skating Festival. The follow information and pictures are all property of Famitsu.

On 14 and 15 July 2018, a Kantai Collection event “KanColle Chinjufu Ice Festival in Makuhari Special Harbour – Naval Review on Ice” is taking place at Makuhari Event Hall in Chiba prefecture. Performers include top-notch ice skaters as well Shipgirls’ seiyuu, in what turned out to be an astonishing event.

Just for this occasion part of the Makuhari Event Hall was turned into an ice rink. The show started with Sawayama Rina’s solo performance as Abyssal Ice Princess. Next, the Special Formations appeared, with Shipgirls like [[Akagi]], [[Kaga]], Kongou sisters, [[Yuudachi]] or [[Hibiki]] and began performing fleet maneuvers to the rhythm of KanColle’s BGM.
 +
 +
Ito Midori in role of the Abyssal Ice Legend Princess, accompanied by the orchestral arrangement of “Modorenai”, gave a very powerful performance worth of the main villain.
 +
 +
Amid the battle group of skaters, the sole male role was given to Takahito Mura, whose role was, of course, that of the Admiral. Wrapped in the white navy uniform he performed spin jumps etc. However, as befitting of the Admiral, there were also Shipgirl commanding scenes with his participation.
 +
 +
The performance was tailored as a story told by ice skaters, BGM, sound and lighting effects, to show the interactions between the Admiral and his Shipgirls, training and practice, the appearance of Kaiboukans, and of course battles between Shipgirls and the Abyssals. In addition to the ice show, seiyuu took on stage performing “Kanmusu Ondo” and “Tsukiyomi”, and for those with taste for instrumental music there were wadaiko (Japanese drums) and violin concerts held in the venue. As such, you can see that there was an abundance of very entertaining content, which makes me believe that this way of presenting and enjoying KanColle is a very real possibility.

My thoughts as an Admiral
 +
Admiral Mura, full of dignity and self-confidence was just too awesome. Fairy-like and charming Sawayama Rina was truly, truly splendid as well. As for the last boss Ito Midori, as expected I can only say “wow, that was astonishing!”.
